This entire argument is stupid. It can be argued either way.

Hootie's a ****ing hypocrite. Period.

and I just cannot tell you, again, how worthless a "gold glove" defender in left is.

It literally means almost nothing. I think I was too generous when I compared it to a blocking TE.

I'm thinking more of a really talented gunner on special teams.

To be fair, the Cardinals are the best team in baseball, and mostly play small ball.

Why cant we Call up Falu to play 3rd and then Platoon dyson in CF days when starters need rest. Don't need him in the lineup every day and you can always pinch run him.

how? Read my last post you dipshit.

Neither the losing nor the winning streak has anything to do with Alex Gordon solely.

My ****ing god, how dense can you people get?

I just had a flash back of when Alex Gordon played first for about 10 games early in his career and in the BBC

Pete and now Coach wanted to tell me Gordon didn't work at 3rd and referenced it by our losing streak.

I told them they were ****ing idiots.

And then I showed them what Alex has done during our winning streak to further back up my claims of them being idiots.

our winning streak has everything to do witch clutch hitting and great pitching from our starters and bullpen

our losing streak had nothing to do with Alex Gordon batting 3rd.

Nothing. Nothing at all. He excelled at the 3 spot.

I actually am arguing no one's point. You are proven wrong as much you are right.

Personal statistics mean nothing with out wins behind them. If we average 4 or more runs with Gordon in a slump, I say let him slump.

it's very close

LF means absolutely nothing. As long as you catch the balls hit to you, you're fine. That's why Soriano and Manny Ramirez played LF.

Any other stupid posts you want to make? I just don't know how to break it down to you...I don't know how many times I have to say it.

It's like having a good blocking TE in football. I guess it's nice...but is it ****ing necessary? No.

Ramirez stuck in LF because teams had to put him SOMEWHERE to get his bat in the lineup. Offense>defense. Boston was a perfect fit for him because you need absolutely no range when playing in LF in Fenway. The issue with your comparison is that defense is far more important for the Royals because they don't play in Fenway for 81 games, especially when the Royals offense is as inept at it is.

The main thing people here are trying to tell you is that if it isn't broken, don't fix it. How will Gordon react when being moved to third? His defense was, imo, below average at 3rd. Why would you take a proven commodity and move him to an area where he's less than good? For Dyson? The only way I'm fine with the EXPERIMENT is if we get a PROVEN OF that can hit the ****ing ball, aka an Ethier type. For Dyson? Hell no.

Yeah, and way to ignore that simply putting Tejada at third is superior to your inane defensive/alterations.

Arguing with you is like arguing with a chatty kathy doll.

What does that have to do with anything? Is it because he was moved back in the leadoff spot like you claimed in your first post? Then backtracked and said it has nothing to do with Gordon back in the leadoff spot.

So which is it Hootie?
